One Family - One Faith - One Mission

Dear Parishioners:

 Over the past year, the parish leadership has been discussing the repair and maintenance needs at Saint Patrick’s. 

 Our current facilities have grown tired with age.

Our Parish Church sanctuary is threatened by roof and water damage. 

Roof and water damage have caused the closing of our Daily Mass Chapel.  

Our Church sanctuary needs a new air conditioning system. Heating repairs and upgrades are necessary, as is the replacement of much of our interior and exterior lighting and skylights.  

Our Church sanctuary is the heart of Saint Patrick’s parish and we need to restore it to good health.

 The roof of the Parish Center is in need of replacement. The Parish Center has several interior and exterior projects that need to be completed.

 The Parish Rectory roof leaks and this has destroyed much of the flooring, roof and window replacement are needed at a minimum. 

 A Campus wide security system is also necessary for Saint Patrick’s.

 This is why I am announcing the official beginning of the Saint Patrick Catholic Church One Family – One Faith – One Mission Capital Campaign.  

 We need to raise $1,250,000 in cash pledges over the next three years to complete the repairs necessary for the continued use of our many parish facilities. 

With the help of an Architect we have identified numerous areas of concern in our sanctuary, parish hall and rectory.  We need to complete these repairs as quickly as possible, but only once we have the necessary funding in hand.  In other words, we will prioritize the needs and complete repairs as the cash from our capital campaign becomes available.  In the meantime, we will pray for your generosity and hope that the current poor conditions don’t get much worse. 

 This is an exciting time for our parish community.  

I hope that you will embrace One Family – One Faith – One Mission with your prayers for success, and financially when asked to make a pledge in support of our many parish needs. 

Surrounded by Angels, together we can and will restore our parish facilities to a proud and usable state.

Thank you in advance for your prayerful support and generosity.

Yours in Christ,

Reverend Thomas McSherry, Pastor
